Option B: Constitutional Right

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Constitutional Right”.
The Right to Vote in India is a constitutional right under Article 326 of the Constitution. While it is not categorized as a fundamental right, it is guaranteed by the Constitution through provisions related to elections and adult suffrage.

Article 326 of the Indian Constitution originally provided that elections would be based on adult suffrage, meaning that individuals aged 21 and above could vote. However, this was amended by the 61st Constitutional Amendment Act, 1988, which lowered the voting age from 21 years to 18 years.
